Locker module is a Drupal authentication tool originally developed by our team. It uses sessions to forbid access to visitors and to hide a Drupal website. A user is required to login to gain access to the website. While Locker module isn’t a replacement for Drupal authentication, it serves as an additional layer to hide your Drupal website from public. It’s an alternative to HTTP Auth standard and recommended to be used in case your server doesn’t support HTTP Auth or if you don’t have permission to set it up or in case you want additional features that Locker module provides.
